What to do with backache during menstruation

Back pain during menstruation is a symptom that many female friends will experience during their menstrual period. Sometimes it is serious and will affect their normal life. This is also a big problem that troubles female friends. If the pain is severe, then we cannot ignore it. We still have to go to the hospital for corresponding conditioning and treatment. Let's take a look at what to do with back pain during menstruation?

1 Women are prone to decreased resistance and mood swings during menstruation. Some people may experience symptoms such as poor appetite, back pain, fatigue, etc. They can eat blood-enriching foods, such as milk, eggs, pigeon eggs, quail eggs, beef, mutton, pig pancreas, water chestnuts, spinach, cherries, longan meat, lychee meat, carrots, apples, angelica, safflower, peach blossom, cooked rehmannia, polygonatum, etc.

2 Avoid excessive cold or heat during menstruation, especially the lower abdomen. Do not get caught in the rain, do not go swimming, do not sit in damp and shady places, and do not use air conditioning or electric fans.

3. Do not wear overly tight pants and tight underwear between menstruation, as this will lead to poor blood flow and cause sudden changes in pelvic and abdominal pressure when taking off and putting on clothes, which can easily cause menstrual blood to flow backwards.

In addition to avoiding excessive fatigue and maintaining a happy spirit during menstruation, you should pay attention to the following do's and don'ts in your diet.

(1) Avoid eating raw or cold food, and prefer eating warm or hot food: Traditional Chinese medicine believes that blood flows when it is heated, but becomes stagnant when it is cooled. Eating raw or cold food during menstruation can damage the spleen and stomach and hinder digestion. It can also easily damage the body's yang energy and cause internal cold. Stagnation of cold air can cause blood to stagnate, resulting in too little menstrual blood, or even dysmenorrhea. Even in the hot summer season, it is not advisable to eat ice cream and other cold drinks during menstruation. Warm food is good for blood circulation. In winter, you can also eat some foods that have warming and tonic effects, such as beef, chicken, longan, wolfberry, etc.

(2) Avoid spicy and sour food, and prefer light food: Menstruation can often make people feel very tired, with weakened digestive function and poor appetite. To maintain nutritional needs, the diet should be fresh. Fresh food is not only delicious and easy to absorb, but also has less nutritional damage and less pollution. During menstruation, the diet should be light and easy to digest. Eat less or no fried, spicy and other irritating foods to avoid affecting digestion and causing excessive menstrual bleeding due to spicy stimulation.

Some methods to relieve lower back pain during menstruation are introduced above. Female friends should pay special attention during menstruation and should not eat whatever they want as usual. In particular, they should pay attention to keeping the abdomen and waist warm, so that there will be no severe dysmenorrhea or uncomfortable symptoms during menstruation. If the dysmenorrhea is severe, you can find a good doctor to regulate it.
